Paulie, I try to minimize chemicals for the obvious reasons. Only thing I’ll use is to keep crabgrass, yellow sedge and chickweed from displacing grass in the summer. I don’t spray flowering weeds that the bees like. Thistle or dandelions get pulled if they’re bugging me.
Been told I have one of the best lawns in town  |
